Shatterstone: Increased damage by 66% in PvP and WvW.

That is all.

I dont know.Shatterstone was 1126 Base Dmg pre Patch with 3018 Power.

• 66% is 1869 Base Dmg.All without Traits.

Piercing Shards = + 20% DmgAquamancer Training + 10% Dmg

Also on a 2 1/2s cd.

I REALLY dont know.

Is scepter still going to be used after all the nerfs though? Seems to me like they really want everyone to switch over to sword for PvP.

Even if they buff it by 6666%, it will always stay a skill with a bad touch to it. Wish they would finally give us something useful and interesting instead.

Ha!

If it dose not do at least 10k crit vs mid armor classes then its not worth it.

All you scrubs thinking that shatterstone is the most OP skill, ignoring the massively OP Dragon's Tooth that we have had ALL ALONG!!!

For the last year, I have been playing ele with no weapon-skills but #2 even bound...maybe I'll consider binding water-swaps so that I can switch back and forth between Dragon's tooth and Shatterstone spam.

Literally unbeatable.

Sry dragon tooth meme has nothing on shatterstone buff (it means anet dose not know what to do).

The true meme is driving core ele into the ground this patch.

never liked water spec but nowwwwwwwwww I will camp traited water and blast nodes with FB on them or do i miss something ?All shatterstone would need is a radius increase ... all done till now is cosmetics ..

As @Ben Phongluangtham.1065 said, the last up of shatter stone was two years ago. It was due. And also, plasma beam has been nerfed by 20 %.

Deal with it :)

devs need to actually play elementalists in high competitive matches, not in some quickplay BS. We need elites that can benefit like everyone else's. Core ele needs some love.I feel like ele is only played in vanilla dungeons by anet.

they went on with the nerfs and murdered core ele. at least they should have left arcane blast alone but no.

MEANWHILE mesmer gets to keep EVERYTHING!

im done with this game lol.

To be honest, removing instant, untelegraphed damage isn't a BAD thing...its just that they did nothing to at least refund it as sustained damage too. And the nerf to Arcane blast takes an actually well-balanced skill (with a projectile and everything) and kills it.

I could even understand if they were going to quickly make more adjustments to rebalance this after gutting it. However, we have been around long enough to know that they won't get around to doing anything for ele for about another year...then they will make it god-tier for a little bit before killing it again.

If the balanced more than once every 6 months....this game could have been great. Instead, it is garbage.

Wasn't the whole logic behind elites is that it would be easier to balance, b/c if elites made anything too strong, they could just adjust those things? So why did Weaver get added, making fresh air 1-shot potential too strong, so then core ele gets adjusted? Completely missed the entire point!!

But w/e boys, we can shatterstone all damned day!!! Golem balance prevails!!!

When they nerf stealth you then have a point about untelegraphed dmg till then we just get shatterstone buffs.

arcane blast didn't deserve the nerfs at all.

core ele could've received a phoenix cd reduction, people brought it up constantly but no.

gotta please the mesmer mains.

I like to draw attentions to no other chats about the update on the ele forms or in wvw other then this "meme ness" of anets update. Is the ele communally comply dead?

Let's count the balance patches within these 6 months, shall we? There's been 4 of them. And they were all major patches.

Having quit GW2 for a while now, was told by friends to check insane Ele buffs.

Saw Shatterstone buff, was not disappointed. It's 2018 already but the meme is still real. GJ trashnet.

thanks Shatterstone!!! now my ele is back online , after a year of exile playing my spellbreaker , and im pwning some major WvW asses !!!

What they need to do is make all scepter skills on ele into shatterstone for max use in pvp and wvw! At least we will get buffs to scepter skills then.

Praise shatterstone the only true skill. (joko is no skill)

I tella ya they will keep buffing it till it will do 10k...and still be useless.

But I wonder...now devs nerf us randomly for random reasons in pvp...it would be hilarious if they start nerfing it.

but but wait guys they buffed other things like umm I think some random dagger weaver thing that no one knows of or uses lol. so ya
